Vitamin supplements

[sburton]

Hi,

I am new to the forum, I have joined as my father in law was diagnosed with MND in Dec 2008, and up until a few months ago he was still quite mobile, but his health/strength has deteriorated in the last few months and has recently been in hosptial to treat pneumonia.

I cook him highly nutritious meals/soups and make fresh juice to help get as much nutrition as possible as he can't eat much now - and it has to be blended as chewing tires him out and has had a few problems swallowing.

But I was wondering if anyone knew if milk thistle and Co Enzyme Q10 supplements would help him at all?

Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Sue

Shouldn't do any harm in moderation. Look in the blog section under Mike27 and see what he takes.

I take supplements reccomended by the Dietician at the ALS Clinic: CoQ10, Slenium, grapeseed extract, and a supplement that helps the body produce glutatione, known to help get rid of free radicals. The difficult part is breaking down these supplements in the body so that they do what they are suppose to do. So eattting things that have these in them naturally is a great idea. I found out that Brazil nuts, 2 a day has tons of selinium. Any body know what else we can eat that has CoQ10, ect?
